The sales of handicrafts are done by 2 methods: informal sales "on the streets" and in shopping centers or stores.

The informal sales are cheaper and you have the opportunity to haggle with the price. They are located throughout the city, especially along the Amazonas Avenue. There are also places where street vendors gather to sell, like the Mercado Artesanal Metropolitano , ( Metropolitan Artisan Market) on Juan Leon Mera St., near Amazonas Ave. You can also find vendors in the park of El Ejido.

There are also local shopping centers that specialize in the sale of handicrafts and can be found throughout the city, in commercial centers or at the Equatorial Line.

It is more expensive to buy in these specialized commercial centers than on the streets. The quality does not vary much but the price does. On the street the prices go from a few cents for cloth bracelets, 5 dollars for a tagua massager or 12 dollars for a Panama hat.
